James Dean – A Public Service Announcement on the stupidity of driving fast on the highway. Filmed during the making of Giant. 9and shortly before his death.
UPDATE: According to James Dean Historian Lee Raskin (see Comment below)” Dean’s mechanic, Rolf Wutherich, said the Spyder was in 4th gear traveling minimally at 75 mph”
Although I do remember watching a special where the information that James Dean was not speeding was presented, but like Mr. Raskin said there is a lot of bull out there. I thnk Mr. Raskin for sending us this information.
WRONG! By-the-way. A few years ago a full-fledged study using computer programing etc. recreating James Dean’s accident and the findings were that he was not speeding. . . EDITOR
